- Ride along with Formula One World Champion Fernando Alonso during the opening laps of the 101st Running of the Indianapolis 500 in 2017.
McLaren Racing announced recently that it will contest the 103rd Running of the Indianapolis 500 in 2019 with Fernando Alonso at the wheel.
Competing in his second Indy 500, Alonso will attempt to become only the second driver ever to secure world motorsport’s unofficial Triple Crown: victories at the Formula One Monaco Grand Prix, the 24 Hours of Le Mans endurance sports car race and the Indianapolis 500, the pinnacle race of the IndyCar Series. The feat was achieved by Graham Hill in 1972 with his win at Le Mans, following his 1966 Indy 500 victory and four triumphs in the Monaco Grand Prix. - Sport
He's simply quits Monaco GP to drive Indycar for 500 miles and almost nailed it! Fernando is a beast and is now getting podiuns at age 42, quite old for an F1 driver.
Looks easy on tv, but 200 laps must be brutal
Never has to me. Any motorsport.
Yea I’m sure the 50+ guys who have died at Indy thought it looked easy too.
Not to mention open wheel oval is basically the only remaining auto racing category when drivers regularly die. So, add insanely dangerous to the checklist too. Anyone who has raced knows the camera captures basically none of the speed.
IndyCar does not have power steering as well. Drivers have to physically turn the wheel.

Yooo this is crazy. As a new F1 fan and a guy who used to go to the Indy 500 every year, it’s wild to think that I probably saw multiple F1 legends race for 500 laps when I was younger and never knew who they were
It's 200 laps, the 500 comes from how many miles it is
Can't believe we are gonna see him again🙌
nah
This aged well
Alexcov welp
nope
@@norbertn9396 shut up
0:26 nice overtake!
Great to see. I think race start onboards are very interesting but rarely shown.
Indy1977TX , it gives a whole new perspective; especially for Indy.
@@timoiivonen4334 your wierd
@@timoiivonen4334 and who cares about stupid jesus and god if they were real they would have helped us all so stop and go and get a life and restart it without religion and all that bullshit
@@timoiivonen4334 LOP
@Teo Vokes 66 Yes timo livonen deleted his first comment.
Its fucking scary how close and how fast these dudes are actually driving.
And they need to nail those turns just right or it’s into the wall
Hope he has more luck in the years to come.

Well
@@Max-yt6zb No

ehh...
Impressive how the front wing bend to the left for grip in curves
0:36 handwork by Marco Andretti
Starting 3 wide is madness!
Drs has left the chat
Look TK overtaking 4 cars in the first turn, i love him
Yeah him and will power had big balls to send it 3 wide into the first turn😂
Wd love to see him win
Keep dreaming ... better hope for a tortilla turning into a fish
Mango 78 I mean true
@@mango7862Bro...fkn Marcus Ericsson won it hahaha tf r u talking about?
He was a f1 legend. Thats all. He has proved himself.
He has still more to prove
Show some respect, boy
@@luiswalls9434 Boys will be boys!
@@amroge8703 what to prove?
@@sirkdagamer0853podium
27 voltas na frente em Indianápolis pela primeira vez num fórmula Indy, o cara arrepia por onde passa....Valeu Alonso👏👏👏
En la Indy ganar las primeras vueltas no es lo que va, en esas vueltas los equipos van en dosificasion. Cuando empieza la estrategia de rebufo es que Alonso empieza a ser rebasado...
El no estaba preparado para las 500 Millas.
I hope he gets another chance at the 500
@@nostalfanQue dices si antes de la rotura del motor estaba en los puestos delanteros adelantándose con los líderes, iba a luchar claramente por la victoria pero el motor Honda decidió parar
@@flazone4486 igual que en la F1 XD
the good OLD days 🥲
Alonso este año si se puede. Animo!
If Fernando every wins the Indy 500 and gets the triple crown I think he would have a case for being the greatest most complete driver in the world
I hope he return again after his f1 days end for the second time.
I still believe he could go all the way and get the triple crown
Bom dia !!!!
Fernando é fantástico !!!!
Muito obrigado pelo vídeo e parabéns pelo canal......
VERY NICE - interesting how they have to maneuver that steering wheel !!!
@@mabra33 Ah yes I guess you conveniently forgot that these cars go over 220mph in extremely close proximity, as well as the fact that over 60% of the IndyCar schedule is made up of road/street courses.
That's why there are tons of different racing classes. If you do not enjoy one, don't watch it, it's that simple.
@@mabra33 Actually, 800 times. The race is 500 miles, but the IMS track is 2.5 miles long. So the race is 200 laps, not 500.
Aprovecha hasta el último centímetro el límite de cada giro. Cada vez que traza una curva acorta metros al trazado a la vez que ahorra combustible. Grande Alonso, lástima que el motor no aguantó hasta el final, hubiera tenido muchas opciones de ganar ese día
Show.. F. Alonso, grande piloto.
his driving is perfect
Wow what a start
He slipped a bit at the start. But just as soon as he got settled he was really good
He was?
@@Dragon83GT yeah up until his engine failes
I remember watching this race, the the first indy I'd seen (was really good, I'd recommend to any race fan) and yes he was really good, you could tell he was new to ovals though. Just like in this clip, after every green flag restart he seemed to lose at least 2 places. But I guess that's just experience and timing on ovals. Had the pace to win though.
Watching this really makes me miss and how I also unappreciated being able to watch the drivers in the cars. They are fighting that wheel hard and you can't see that these days easily due to the screen
He needs to try again
Just goes to show how difficult that first lap is, man
"the engine feels good, much slower than before"
Amazing
Unusual to see the rocket starter lose places in the first lap. Rolling starts quite different eh?
Are u serious? Anyone is going to win a 3h race in the start...
@@javiersanchez384 Exactly, he was being smart. It means nothing to be safe and give up a few places at the start. If you do the right things with your setups and adjustments over the 3+ hours, as he did, making up those places is a given. It’s being in the top 3 or 4 with ten laps to go with the best adjusted car that matters. He was running 7th on lap 179 and moving forward like Sato, just not as quickly, when his engine failed.
these dudes are insane.
Alonso is the true goat, he’s done Indycar, 24hr lemans and F1
Kanaan the start restart master
He should try race in F1 to see how he does there.
Is this when Button peed in his seat?
You can see him flinch when Will Power zooms bye on the start
The physical stress that the body deals with, that alone is too much for regular human beings. These drivers are truly special.
Imagine turning the wheel at 220+ mph.
With no power steering too
Seems like he uses deeper line than other drivers
His experience with dirty air in F1 means he always tries to get further inside than the driver in front, it gets clean air on the front wing and gives more grip despite being tighter. A lot of other F1 drivers don't do this, but I've always noticed that he does
Very good top top
Rollin start threw him off.
0:24, he was NOT ready for Will and TK to blow by him into 1.
Tbh it looked like his primary goal was to not wipe out in the opening laps, he leaves a lot of margin everywhere.
He is now back in F1
Wow, Real racing 3
Have you seen how the prompter was ahead of him?
Please..
Where i can find the Full Race With Audio..⁉️⁉️
CZcams has it
Alonsooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Why did the camera pan right at :33? Is it controlled remotely?
yes, IndyCars have onboard cameras that can rotate 360 degrees
Is Alonso was trying to get the triple crown?
Yes but mostly for the show
Longer clip would’ve been nice...
gp2 engine ! gp2 engine
FERNANDO 🟩⬜️🟥
Just got done watching mario andrettis. Laps at indy. But it was 1966 at 165mph. Than i watched this omfucking god. Im getting old. 58 turning 59 oct 25th
You've gotta have absolute balls of steel to race wheel to wheel at maximum speed around this type of track. This is far more scary than f1
GP2 ENGINE, GP2
AAARGH
Wow! Cold tires, full tank, biggest day of your career needs measured patience and racecraft.
I could watch the whole 200 laps with out commentary. 🤫
Wonder if he looked at the skinny front tires and asked, you sure this thing will turn ??? 😁🤣🤣🤣🏎🏎🏎🏎🏎🏁🍺
GP2 Engine GP2 Engine!!!!!!1!
If the engine hadn't blown I'm sure he would have won.
Corrida pra mim é F1!!!!!
Pra todos nós, F1 é F1
F1 é uma bosta, todo ano só um lixo de equipe ganha, e ainda têm aquela porcaria do Hamilton que falar demais...
F.1 E CIRCO PRA VENDER PERFUME
That race is anti clockwise. Isn't It? It must be hard for his neck.
Alonso was racing in the Indy 500? I thought that he was driving the pace car ........ :)
Nascar driver did way better in previous indy 500, hmmm.
Damn I'm out of the loop. I thought Alonzo was in the F1 grid
He skipped Monaco in 2017 to take part in the 500
Alonso is trying to win the coveted Triple Crown of Motorsport. He has an F1 Championship and Le Mans Championship wrapped up, so now he has to win the Indy 500 to make History.
@@jcampo4He also won at Monaco twice
@@jcampo4 you're not exactly wrong, but the triple crown is based on race wins rather than championships. He won le man 24hr, monaco, and now needs indy.
Why was he letting everyone past without contesting or defending?
Gp2 engine for f1 and gp4 for andycar
It’s a YOKE! A YOKE!
Indy light engine...indy light...arghhh!!
If his engine didn’t die, he 100% would have won this one
Honestly I can't see a legend like Alonso racing in this kind of competition..
He said this race GP4！！GP4！！
68 dislikes
_i know what I have to do but I don't know if I have the strength to do it_
Supremo💤‼️
Damn, he almost biffed it going into turn 2 on the first lap. Indianapolis 500 is an incredible race. 200 laps of perfection are needed just to finish, let alone win.
Boh Liao
lmao...He got played like a tune at the start! 0:17 Why did he lift off the gas, right at the worst possible moment?!
Almost jumped the start
Thought he was racing in f1 that year
He skipped monaco
the_real_lord_ddd thanks
Got mugged at the start.
コクピットカメラ映像はこれだけ…
Real bad start
GP2 ENGINE
If you do that on a re start you may loose your chance again for the triple!
Lots of lifting through the corners…exactly what we need to place the onus on driver skill
Cant understand how this sport works. Someone explain please
Vaggelis Karavolos The drivers drive fast cars around a track. The first one to drive 500 miles wins.
@@michaeln3527 οhhh ok understood. So its not a race . Thanks dude
Vaggelis Karavolos if you’re going to troll, at least make sense. You sound like an idiot
@@michaeln3527 he means it's not a race, it's an endurance race
Uh I guess they run round refueling when it is needed and they all get tired by lap 200 so they stop and the 1st to arrive where it all started drinks milk, and they have like 500K Indians watching so it is called the indy500
I wouldn't want to be a right front wheel of an Indy car.
He was getting ate up at the beginning
Uma curva pra esquerda, outra curva pra esquerda, outra curva pra esquerda, outra curva pra esquerda, outra curva pra esquerda
Bem melhor que Mônaco kkkk
Realmente se ve como lo pasan 5 autos, como pedo!,, como si estuviera parado.
This is scary as f***k ...
GP2 engine! GP2! Ahh!
I’m so glad they ditched those boxes behind the tires. They just looked so dorky and over engineered.
Definitivamente, Indianápolis não é para "amadores"...
So what?
I bet his heart rate was 170 bpm
Going round and round in circles, what God is this?
This is how Indy was before they started races on on circuits and road courses. Those races are more entertaining than f1 most of the time
Largada nível piloto fraco, perdeu duas posições...
0:26 Those dudes overtook Alonso. Not many people can say that.
Lo pasaron como un cono
Pato
Starting “laps”? It was 1 lap.
Fernando those other cars are faster then you...
